Open Space for Head Space

When trail miles are as essential as breathing

Some run to get away from it all. Becca is on the trail to get back to what really matters. It’s escape vs. discovery. "Amazing things can happen when you are in the wilderness, when you are taken away from distractions and you can really focus on yourself."

#WHATSWITHIN, IN YOUR WORDS

We asked Vasque performance hikers what inspires them, what pushes them, and why? Below are stories of personal passion and perspective from their outdoor adventures. #WhatsWithin you?

TELL US #WHATSWITHIN to WIN SOME VASQUE GEAR

What happens when you get out? What do you discover when you push a little harder, a little faster, a little longer? What places inspire you?

Show us. Tag your inspired photos, videos, blog posts, haikus, interpretive dances, and whatever else your next excursion helps you create with the #WhatsWithin hashtag on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Watch it show up here.

And every time you post with the #WhatsWithin hashtag, you'll be entered to win some sweet Vasque shoes or other gear (see full rules here). Gear giveaways happen monthly.
